RESIDENTS say it is time for Kirklees Council to take action over the state of a Fartown car park.

RESIDENTS say it is time for Kirklees Council to take action over the state of a Fartown car park.

Sarah Huby has renewed the battle over the site in Corby Street.

Two years ago residents signed a petition asking for action to tarmac the site, which is riddled with potholes.

And after two years of inaction they are appealing again for something to be done.

"It is only a matter of time before this causes a huge injury or damage to a car," said Miss Huby, 23, who lives with her 24-year-old partner James McGlynn in Corby Street.

"It's time to name and shame the council into doing something. "The car park is used by pensioners who are not very steady on their feet," added Sarah, who is the Neighbourhood Watch co-ordinator for the Poplar area.

Birkby councillor Clr Mehboob Khan was involved in the last campaign to get the council-owned car park resurfaced.

"It's got worse over the years and it's only a matter of time before someone trips and injures themselves," he said.

He added that he would be bringing the matter to the highways department again for action.

A spokesman from Kirklees Council said the highways department was investigating.
